Finalized just ahead of Used Car Week, Ship.Cars and Montway Auto Transport announced a partnership on Friday.
The automotive transport technology firm and third-party logistics brokerage company said in a news release that their customers will gain increased exposure to extra carrier capacity with additional focus on visibility and automation in the post-dispatch process.
As used-vehicle prices surge and the automotive transport industry faces significant supply chain challenges and disruption, Ship.Cars’s goal is to simplify and streamline the entire transport process for all stakeholders with user-friendly technologies, including LoadMate for Shippers, Market Load Board and Carrier Transport Management System (TMS).
“Today’s disruptive supply chain environment exemplifies an auto transport industry that is ripe for innovation,” said Eftim Eftimov, vice president of strategy at Ship.Cars. “Montway’s partnership demonstrates how vital integrated TMS tools are for the future growth of leading auto transport companies.”
As part of the agreement, Montway and its customers will leverage Ship.Cars’s full suite of technology products, including LoadMate, Market Load Board, Carrier TMS and a new customer portal.
In addition to granting access to thousands of carriers, LoadMate’s features include in-app chats with carriers and drivers, AI-based tools for accurate load pricing and tracking loads in real time.
Market Load Board can enable bookings to be negotiated and confirmed online, provides instant dispatching and delivers enhanced electronic proof of delivery – all without the need of phone calls.
Carrier TMS can provide real-time updates for vehicle hauling partners, robust tools for load management, advanced car hauler dispatch software, and modern tools for payments and invoices.
“Further integration with the Ship.Cars platform enables Montway to provide our customers and trusted carrier partners with new tools for even faster and more dependable transport services,” Montway Auto Transport president and chief executive officer Dimitre Kirilov said in the news release.
“Our company’s significant growth in the past few years highlights how important user-friendly technologies are for providing excellent customer service while seamlessly managing thousands of auto transport shipments each year,” continued Kirilov, whose company is among the exhibitors at Used Car Week, which begins on Monday at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas.
